My system is a gentoo-linux. But I really got no idea about keyboards.
When your Emacsen are not running in a terminal emulation but as X
clients, it's not about keyboards.
There are two programmes in X11: xev and xmodmap. Xmodmap accepts
arguments to print out the X modifiers or all keys. Xev tells you the
keysyms and keycodes you press. So you can check out a key (or more) to
work as meta modifier.
Comparing both worlds you can now write a little script .xmodmaprc like:
keycode 66 = Meta_L
keycode 69 = Meta_R
clear Mod2
add Mod2 = Meta_L Meta_R
In .xinitrc you can add:
xmodmap .xmodmaprc
So upon launching X11 you'll have at home the same setup as at
university.
